Every year for the last decade, Yelp has been analyzing the millions of reviews on its site to announce its Top 100 Places to Eat — and last week, the user-generated reviews site announced its 10th-anniversary edition, spanning 30 states. “From food trucks and sandwich shops to fine dining establishments, the Top 100 list reflects the diverse tastes and uniqueness of our community of users,” Yelp’s trend expert Tara Lewis said in a statement released to Travel + Leisure....

Of all the things we buy for our babies, car seats and strollers are among the most important. After all, they’re precious cargo – so we can’t trust just any old piece of plastic. We want the comfiest, the safest, the most durable (and let’s be real, parent-friendliness ranks up there on the list too)....

“It’s my third trip to Antarctica,” I heard one passenger say to another as we touched down in Ushuaia, Argentina, where we’d board Atlas Ocean Voyages’ brand-new ship World Traveller. “Really?” the second passenger asked. “Of course not,” laughed the first. I chuckled to myself. It was, in fact, my third trip to Antarctica. Like the vast majority of my fellow guests, it was our vessel’s very first voyage to the White Continent....

Exploring the gorgeous fjords, arctic regions, and buzzing cities of Norway sounds like a dream — but what if it was all a mystery? That’s what one tour operator is proposing by planning mystery trips to the Scandinavian country where travelers don’t know what they’re doing until they get there. Up Norway, which plans immersive trips throughout the country, is asking travelers to just show up while they put together an amazing vacation that is all a surprise, reps for the company told Travel + Leisure....

Anticipating how your skin is going to react when you’re traveling can oftentimes be a losing game. But, one thing you can count on is puffy, dark under-eye circles after a long flight, train ride, or road trip. If that second (or third) coffee still hasn’t turned up the brightness on your skin, shoppers say the best course of action is to recruit the help of the Ilia Beauty Bright Start Activated Eye Cream....

Much of the writing about traveling while transgender is decidedly negative. I would know — I’ve written some of it. Travel as a trans person can be frustrating, heartbreaking, and even dangerous; from the indignities of airport TSA checkpoints to the constant stares in small towns to outright discrimination and violence, there’s much to persuade one to simply remain safely and comfortably at home. But those struggles are not the whole story; solo travel as a transgender woman can also be an incredibly joyful, liberating experience....

Italy has long been a favored vacation destination for the rich and extremely famous. From its stunning coastline to its chic fashion sense, its gorgeous vineyards to its stellar mountain regions, Italy has no problem impressing the A-list. Need proof? Just ask Simone Amorico, CEO of the exclusive tour company Access Italy. “Access Italy provides unique access to venues that are hardly accessible to the public,” Amorico told Travel + Leisure....

Ever since Amal and George Clooney became a couple, everyone wanted to know all of the details and see all the sweet photos of the private couple. Throughout their relationship, they keep everything quite low-key, rarely getting captured by paparazzi and dazzling on the red carpet. However, the pair decided to give fans a treat and truly took everyone’s breath away at the HISTORYTalks 2022 event. When the Clooneys stepped out onto the red carpet, everyone’s eyes were on them (and their gorgeous look!...

In fall 2021, Canada Goose — the luxury clothing brand known for its iconic (and very cozy) winter coats — launched boots for the first time ever. With two styles — the Snow Mantra Boot and the Journey Boot — the company has you covered for all your winter travels. I put the Journey Boot, a versatile performance hiking shoe, to the test in the snowy Canadian mountains and freezing New York City streets....

Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber are turning into the hottest mother-daughter duo hitting the red carpet these days. The 55-year-old supermodel and her 20-year-old lookalike hit the star-studded InStyle Awards on Monday in Los Angeles and they made a stunning pair. Both women arrived decked out in the style trend of the moment: Sequins. Crawford opted for a form-fitting chevron gown by Missoni with jewel-tone colors that enhanced her beauty. Gerber sported a flirty Alexander McQueen dress complete with silver and royal blue fringe....

While we love the winter wonderland vibe winter brings and the sweater season fall brings, we’re not a fan of what they do to our skin. Our lips get even more chapped, our dark circles come out more, and our skin turns into a lizard with how dry and patchy it gets....

Look, we’ve all been there. After a long day at work, the last thing you want to think about is, “What should I make for dinner?” It’s the dreaded question that haunts weeknights. Giada De Laurentiis has a ton of amazing Italian recipes that are simple and fast and perfect for that mid-week slump. Our favorites include her lemon risotto with shrimp, chicken milanese, and her Italian sheet pan chicken. But we have a new dish we want to add to our list to try: De Laurentiis’ marinated cherry tomato pasta....

After living in Tokyo as a student and young professional, I’ve made visiting Japan a priority at least once a year since, deep-diving new and interesting themes and destinations as the country continues to evolve both with and against the rising tide of globalization. I’ve written about everything from the secret world of “rotten girl” fan fiction manga to the far-flung village in Shikoku that’s become a cult attraction among Kengo Kuma architecture devotees; I’ve also authored three travel books about the country....

Blank, baffled stares. It’s what I was met with when I told people I was heading to Canouan, a petite, three-square-mile island — just one of 32 within the string of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. “Where’s that?” my friends, even the most well-traveled ones, would ask. I pulled up a map on my phone, dragging my finger along the Caribbean Sea, pinching the screen in and out, eventually pointing to a question-mark-shaped speck surrounded by Barbados, St....

There’s a new way to get to New York City from John F. Kennedy International airport thanks to a long-awaited train station now open in the middle of Manhattan. The Grand Central Madison station, which opened on Wednesday, will offer a new hub for both commuters and travelers via the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). Travelers coming from JFK can connect to the JFK AirTrain, as usual but after arriving in Jamaica, Queens, visitors can now transfer to a train heading to Grand Central Terminal on Manhattan’s East Side, in addition to Penn Station....

Ready for a little dose of childhood nostalgia? While perusing Nordstrom’s site for their latest summer must-haves (including the chicest beach towels we’ve ever seen), we discovered one seriously unexpected surprise we never knew we needed. Just in time for warm weather, they’re selling a tabletop ICEE machine so you can make your favorite convenience store treat right in your own kitchen. And the price is actually super affordable—it’s just $115!...

Ozzy Osbourne has had enough of living in the US after making it his home for decades. He and wife Sharon Osbourne are headed back to the UK to live in their 350-acre estate in Buckinghamshire, England. You might think he just wants to retire there, but the former Black Sabbath singer is leaving for more serious reasons. While Sharon believes that “America has changed so drastically” making it “a very weird place to live right now,” her husband gets straight to the point in an interview with The Guardian....
